I don’t use this but might be for someone out there who does, check it out?

The word I get is that it’s old-school insulin so the dose might need fiddling, but otherwise checks out. Have not confirmed personally. CVS is rumored to have the same thing going on, but that is currently unconfirmed.

Snopes has details. In short, this is, as @chemipedia hinted at, human insulin, which requires a lot more peplanning and management. You’ll need to talk to a doctor about using this stuff if at all possible. It’s still good to have the option over going without, though.

If you reblogged the original from me, please reblog this version.

Ok but at the same time can we fn understand that instilling pride at a young age in your own work and having a huge payoff will create far more potential for an individual than being handed an effortless pass from the community in the realm of ‘this makes me feel better as a person’

Hey not to be That Person but there’s an irrevocable difference between a child working for something that they want as opposed to something that they need. He’s not selling pumpkins to buy a gaming console or for some first edition collectable he really wants. He’s selling pumpkins for a service dog that he needs for his chronic illness. Teaching children to have “pride” in working for something that should be a right enforces the norm that we aren’t inherently deserving of things that can be life saving. A child selling pumpkins to buy something for himself teaches pride and hard work. A child selling pumpkins to be able to afford a potentially life saving service is 1) a tragedy, and 2) teaching children that in order to deserve something they need, then they must be exploited in order to get it in a system that doesn’t care for them. But go off, I guess.

This.
